Equipment
Ingredients
Corn & Black Bean Salsa:
- 1 cup fresh or thawed frozen corn (I grilled fresh corn on the cob and cut the kernels off)
- 1 cup no-salt added black beans, drained and rinsed
- 1 cup diced tomatoes
- ⅓ cup diced red onion
- 1 ½ tablespoons minced jalapeno pepper
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- ¼ cup chopped cilantro
- ½ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon ground cumin
Avocado Cilantro Yogurt Sauce:
- ½ avocado, peeled and pitted
- ½ cup low fat plain Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- 1 tablespoon lime juice
- ⅛ teaspoon kosher salt
- ¼ teaspoon hot sauce like Sriracha (optional)
Grilled Avocados:
- 2 medium to large avocados, halved and pits removed
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- Kosher salt
Instructions
- Combine all of the salsa ingredients in a medium bowl. Let sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes for flavors to meld together.
- To make the sauce, puree the avocado, yogurt, cilantro, lime juice, salt, and hot sauce together in a mini food processor or blender.
- Heat a grill or grill pan to medium high heat. Brush avocado halves with oil and sprinkle with a pinch of salt. When grill is hot, place avocado halves cut side down on the grill and cook 2-3 minutes until nice grill marks form. Remove from heat.
- Fill avocados with some corn and black bean salsa. Drizzle some Avocado Cilantro Yogurt Sauce on top and garnish with cilantro.
- Serve extra salsa and sauce on the side. You can also mix the extra salsa with cooked quinoa for a tasty second dish!
